If your dependents file tax returns can you still claim them?

Yes. Being claimed as a dependent doesn't prevent the dependent from filing a return. That also doesn't prevent you from still claiming them on your own return. The IRS gives guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file tax returns. Also, even though dependents might not be required to file, they should file if tax was withheld in order to receive a refund of that tax.


On this year's income tax can you file dependents?

You can always file dependents on your income tax return, as long as you have dependents living in your home that you are responsible for supporting financially.


If you're a dependent on someone else's income tax return can you claim dependents as well?

No. If you're being claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, then you can't claim dependents. There are two types of qualifying dependents. One is a Qualifying Child, which includes children, stepchildren, foster children, siblings, and their descendants (grandchild, niece, nephew). The other is Qualifying Relative, which includes those in the Qualifying Child category as well as others (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, and any other person living all year in your household as long as the relationship doesn't violate local law).If you qualify for either category, then you're not eligible to claim your own dependents. Also, by being claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, you can't claim a personal exemption for yourself on your own tax return.

This would depend on whether or not they were dependents on your tax return? If so, you can file for the education tax credit but if they filed their own returns and aren't dependents on your return, then they are the only ones who can claim the credit. Whoever has the right should file a form 8863 along with their tax return in order to claim the credits. In order to complete this form you need the form 1098-T from their college or vocation school.
